Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo delves into the ineffable mystery of Japan‘s age-old love affair with insects. A labyrinthine meditation on nature, beauty, philosophy and Japanese culture that might just make you question if your ‚instinctive‘ repulsion to bugs is merely a trick of western conditioning.
